Learn to write by doing it. Read widely and wisely. Increase your word power. Find your own individual voice though practicing constantly. Go through the world with your eyes and ears open and learn to express that experience in words.
P.D. James (via writersrelief) Wonderful advice!!
Are you going to finish club mad? (Sorry if tons of people have asked this already, I've just found the story and I really am in love with it!!)
Hello! Yes, I do plan to finish CM as soon as possible. I had surgery last month and have been in the hospital and rehab until just a couple of days ago. I'm finally feeling better and plan to start writing again very soon, hopefully by this weekend.
I feel awful about the fact that it's been so long since I've been able to update the story but it was unavoidable. My original plan was to do some writing during my recovery but the last month has been a rough one.
I'm very glad you are enjoying the story and I will do everything I can to give it the happy ending that I promised when I started. Thank you so much for your interest!

nothing in this world will ever be as soul crushingly painful as millionaire pop star niall horan out on a day of fun and filming stopping and taking a picture for an older couple on their vacation. checking it after, making sure it’s up to snuff. it’s fine. i’m fine. we’re all fine.

This is the cutest thing ever! So sweet!
Oh, so cute! : )
Not One More!
The gun violence in this country must stop. It will stop. The only question is how many more mass shootings will it take before our representatives in Congress get off the their collective asses and do something!
I have no problem with guns or the people that own them. My dad always had a couple of guns around the house. But what's the problem with background checks and waiting periods so that we make sure that the gun being sold is going to a responsible owner instead of a psycho? And who in their right mind needs a gun that shoots 40 bullets in 10 seconds?
Every time there is a shooting like the one that happened in CA this week, everyone gets upset and demands changes but then it goes away in a few news cycles. People have to keep the energy going so that some day, we can watch the news without fear of seeing another senseless tragedy like Columbine or Sandy Hook.
Call your representatives in Congress. Make them listen and if they don't, vote them out of office!
This is my favourite quote about the 1D news.
Definitely right! They make great music, that's the extent of their responsibility to anyone, even - and maybe especially - their fans!
I don’t even have to tell you why this is important or why you should support the Kickstarter to bring back Reading Rainbow; you know why. So go do it!
I cannot overstate how important Reading Rainbow was to my development as a reader (which is turn led to my development as a WRITER.) Levar Burton, take all my money, plz and thank you.
This is a wonderful program! I'm glad to see it coming back. It's needed!
The Writers Public Service Announcement :P
So very true!
The “Niall Horan Charity Football Challenge” raised over £300,000 yesterday. Niall says: “Although my team didn’t win, I still enjoyed every minute of this game. I would like to thank all the players who donated their time free of charge to support this event. I’m looking forward to making this even bigger and better next year. I am delighted we have raised significant funds for Irish Autism Action which is based in my home town of Mullingar, UK based Heart and Minds Challenge and the Leicester Foxes Foundation.” (x)

Wow, what a beautiful picture!
Being a good writer is 3% talent and 97% not being distracted by the internet.

OMG is this ever true!!!
@NiallOfficial: 4 years ago I stood there and auditioned for the Xfactor, can’t believe we just played 3 nights in that stadium!
I am so happy for him!!!!
Killing Perry
Two days ago, I killed a friend of mine. I’d known him for several months and we were quite intimate. He lived with me constantly and was always around to make me laugh, cry or become exasperated when he didn’t do what I thought he should do. He was my friend, and I killed him. He was my creation and I killed him off in Chapter 28.
You see, I planned his death months ago, soon after I created him. He was always destined to die. It was essential that he die. It wouldn’t be the same story if he didn’t die. Even though I felt all those things were true, I still struggled with the idea and almost couldn’t go through with it when the time came. I had major angst about it. I flipped back and forth so many times that I think my beta reader would have killed me if I kept it up too much longer. I even went so far as to write an alternative scene in which he was critically wounded but did not die.
Part of this stemmed from the fact that I had become very attached to him over the course of the story. I kept finding more things for him to do, more scenes to put him in that made the story better, stronger. I kept giving him more personality. At first, he was defined by his job, a very brief physical description and a Southern accent. Then he grew on me… he became the best friend of my main character. There was joking, fun and serious conversations. Hell, I gave him a middle name and a family for cripes sakes! I fell in love with my fictional character!
There was another reason why I was reluctant to kill him. I was (still am) publishing the story chapter by chapter as I finish them. Readers started leaving comments about the story and one theme immerged; almost everyone loved Perry. He’d started out as working for the bad guys but as I started changing him, making him not like his job and feeling guilty about what he was doing, the opinion of the readers changed too. I made him funny and I think they loved that as much as I did. I began to worry because I knew what was coming in Chapter 28 and I feared the hate mail. What would I do if the readers revolted? How would I feel if they stopped reading? What if, what if? Doubt is a terrible thing.
There were two people who knew he was going to die, my beta reader and another reader who I was sending advanced copies of the chapters and spoilers. They were like the angel and devil on each of my shoulders, although in truth, they are both angels. But one told me that it was logical to kill him; sad but logical and to do anything else wouldn’t be true to the story. The other pointed out that he didn’t deserve to die because inside he was a good man, just in a bad situation.
My options were limited. I could 1) have him run away like a coward, 2) stay and go to jail for the rest of his life (he’s deeply involved enough with the criminals that there would be no deals cut), 3) give him a deal anyway and blow any credibility I had by making my story unbelievable, or 4) kill him. In the end, I chose option 4 but gave him a heroic death in which he saved his friend (my main character) and several other people in the process. He was brave, he was honorable, he was heroic and he was dead.
I cried and had to stop several times writing his death scene. In the end, however, I felt very good about my decision. I’d stuck to my outline and did what worked for the story. I put on my big girl pants and did the right thing; the way I think a real writer would. I’m proud of myself and damned if I don’t’ think this puts me one-step closer to answering my question… Am I a writer? I think I just might be; at least I was when I posted Chapter 28.
